Mitt Romney's repeated claim that he played no part in executive decision-making related to Bain after 1999 is false, according to Romney's own testimony in June 2002, in which he admitted to sitting on the board of the Lifelike Co., a doll maker that was a Bain investment during the period.

Romney has consistently insisted that he was too busy organizing the 2002 Winter Olympics to take part in Bain business between 1999 and that event. But in the testimony, which was provided to The Huffington Post, Romney noted that he regularly traveled back to Massachusetts. "[T]here were a number of social trips and business trips that brought me back to Massachusetts, board meetings, Thanksgiving and so forth," he said.

Romney's sworn testimony was given as part of a hearing to determine whether he had sufficient residency status in Massachusetts to run for governor.

Romney testified that he "remained on the board of the Staples Corporation and Marriott International, the Life Like Corporation" at the time.

Yet in the Aug. 12, 2011, federal disclosure form filed as part of his presidential bid, he said, "Mr. Romney retired from Bain Capital on February 11, 1999 to head the Salt Lake Organizing Committee. Since February 11, 1999, Mr. Romney has not had any active role with any Bain Capital entity and has not been involved in the operations of any Bain Capital entity in any way." [Emphasis added]

Perjury! Felony lying to the Federal Government! If Willard was still actively managing Bain as late as 2002, that he means he was ACTIVELY involved in:

--OUTSOURCING AMERICAN JOBS TO CHINA--APPROVING AN INVESTMENT IN A COMPANY THAT DISPOSED OF ABORTED FETUSES--DESTROYING MORE AMERICAN COMPANIES AND AMERICAN JOBS.

Says Mittens went to work on the Olympics and didn't take any compensation. Guess she didn't see the SEC Filing Forms where Mitt claimed a salary over 100,000. from Bain and compensation from the Olympics.
